CPR, First Aid, and Safety Training 

duems is accepting any requests for cpr, first aid, and safety training following current COVID-19 guidelines.

Duke University EMS believes that everybody should learn quick, easy life-saving skills like CPR and First Aid. So we offer shorter, non-certifying courses in CPR/First Aid for those who are interested in the skills but do not have the time, money, or need for full certification.

If you are interested in any of the below training, please email our Outreach Officer at duemsoutreach@duke.edu with at least two weeks advance notice.

Hands-Only CPR

Hands-only CPR covers the two essential components of CPR: chest compressions and automatic defibrillator usage. This quick, simple form of CPR training takes only 30 minutes and is perfect for any size group. Participants enjoy the excitement of learning a new, team-based, hands-on skill that is designed to save lives.

Through hands-only programming, Duke University EMS has managed to train over 1000 students in 2022–2023, with over 30 groups spanning staff, faculty, SLG, Greek life, independent residence halls, and athletics receiving their own training!

First Aid

Duke University EMS is happy to informally teach First Aid skills to groups per their request. If your group would like non-certifying training in epi-pen use, bleeding control, or other basic first aid, please reach out.

miscellaneous

Duke University EMS is also able to provide training outside of first aid and hands-only CPR. To make a specific request, contact our Outreach team.
